Just a short one today. Things are not very
comfortable here as we push towards Galapagos.
We turned west at 6am this morning and over the day
the wind has been a real pain. As we have progressed it has turned more and more
towards the west and it was forcing us to sail north-west.
The wind and swell have picked up and it is not a
problem but it is far from comfortable.
We have tacked now and are sailing directly south
again until the forecast southerly wind develops in about 12 hours.
This is the area of sea they call the
doldrums!!!??
All aboard are fit and well but OVER beating into
this lumpy sea.
